Our Not So Simple, Intentional December

If you’ve been following my little blog here for any length of time, you may have seen my posts at the end of each month where I share some of the simple, intentional opprotunities my family and I had to serve the Lord and each other.

Let me tell ya – I had some grand and glorious ideas for December that I was planning on sharing with you!

Daily crafts.

Weekly baking projects.

Bedtime advent readings.

DIY gift making.

…busy, busy, busy.

My original intention for this post was to be at the end of the month and to be much longer than what it is going to be.

But…

I haven’t done one single thing on my grand and glorious Christmas list.

I don’t have much simple, intentional ideas to share with you this month.

About the second day into my scheduled projects I was already feeling overwhelmed. So I’ve decided that this year, I’m going to throw out all my normal expectations of what a successful Christmas should look like.

Instead of crafts and baking, I’m going to spend more time playing in the snow making snow angels and ice castles.

Instead of DIY gifting and elaborate decorating, I’m going to spend more time snuggled up on the couch with my babies eating popcorn and watching movies.

Also, this will be my last post until after Christmas – maybe even til after the new year. I’m going to use the time I would normally spend blogging to further engage into our not so simple, intentional December!

Wishing you and yours a blessed and merry Christmas! See ya on the flip-side.

Thanks 🙂 I do like to do fun projects with the kids and I want to start establishing some of our own traditions – but I’m just no into all of it this year. First Christmas since we’ve moved away from home and just wanna keep things easy. Merry Christmas to you!!!

Great idea, Megan. I don’t need to make plans because my daughter makes them for me. 🙂 You won’t regret those snow angels. They’re only little for awhile. You’re a good mother.
